Tag Archives: returning to work

I made it through my first week of work! It went by so fast, I think because I would get up, do my exercises, eat breakfast, shower, go to work, come home do whatever chores I had to do (laundry, etc.), cook dinner, do my exercises, pack my lunch, give my dogs some love then go to bed. I have to stay on my feet and get everything done that I can when I get home before sitting down or else I won’t get back up. I have slept like a rock this week. Thursday was my hardest day. I was so tired. I needed a nap ten minutes after I woke up, and I felt that way all day. But TGIF! I have 2 days of resting ahead of me and that’s what I plan to do.

My rash is starting to clear up. Unfortunately, one of the side effects I get from the prednisone are lovely roses red cheeks. I look like a raggedy ann doll. Everyone kept making comments at work today about how rosy my cheeks were and they were worried I wasn’t feeling well, but I just explained I am on a prednisone burst and they understood. Everyone artwork was very helpful and understanding this week. It’s nice to work with people that look out for you.

I am really looking forward to having two days off to relax and do nothing! Well, not nothing, but at least sit down more!
